I don't know about you, but I tend to sing along with tv theme songs...at least when my dog Mike isn't around. He thinks I sound like fingernails on a chalkboard.

When I thought about this, I had a really rough time narrowing it down to 5. I finally had to go with what I had. Problem is, I keep thinking of new ones...I mean old ones!

Feel free to add your own...I'm betting they'll be on my backup list!

So, here are my top 5 (with plenty more behind these):

1. Veronica Mars Season One

2. Firefly

3. Las Vegas

4. Psych

5. Monk

I was just watching The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. this weekend, too. I always loved Julius Carry as Lord Bowler. He passed away from pancreatic cancer at the age of 56.

TV Squad has a brief obit with some of his acting credits.

Hot Stuff is 58!

I'm one who thinks Kripke should just tell the story (and cast his actors/actresses) however he wants to. I'll happily watch.

However, have you ever thought to yourself "I wish Supernatural had enough money to cast __________ in an episode!"???

I have. Lots of times.

So, feel free to list actors/actresses you'd like to see on the show if money were no object.

However, be warned that ANYONE attempting to recast Sam or Dean will most likely be burned with or without salt. And I won't protect you! I'm not crazy enough to even try.

I'll start. I've kind of wished to see the following actors on SN:

Kristin Bell
Kyle Gallner
Alexis Bledel
Nathan Fillion

And that's just for starters.

Have fun!

I'm one of those that lived through Fox screwing with Firefly when it originally aired. Looks like they've already started the process of second guessing Whedon on The Dollhouse.

I'm not sure they learned the lesson!

Darn it, I now have ANOTHER song stuck in my head. I'm gonna be singing it all night long!!!

It is a step up from Wang Chung. So I'm sharing the wealth!



So, now I'm gonna go try to sleep, even though I'm kind of thinking I'll be dancing in my head. Night all!

I’m horribly bored tonight, so I figured I’d start a “Favorites” Blog. If you can’t make up your mind, feel free to put multiples. I’m not picky.

I’m going to limit it to 12 questions (I refuse to stop at 10…I’m an adult, I get to do more).

What’s Your Favorite…

1. Current TV Drama

2. Current TV Comedy

3. Current Reality Series

4. Current Cartoon

5. Former (i.e. not being filmed anymore) TV Drama

6. Former (i.e. not being filmed anymore) TV Comedy

7. Former (i.e. not being filmed anymore) Reality Series

8. Former (i.e. not being drawn anymore) Cartoon

9. Author (any genre)

10. Song (any genre)

11. Actor

12. Actress

Now I have to see if I can figure out my own answers!

And many more.....

I finally remembered to tune in last night (after The Closer was done). What a hoot!!!!

I'll leave the recaps for other folks. Just wanted to add my two cents on it.

The Middleman: My gut says we may be dealing with the seminal stages of a zombie outbreak.
Wendy: Entrail-ripping brain-chewing zombies?
The Middleman: The very same.
Wendy: Cool.

Word of caution: Watch out for Peruvian Flying Pike. Nasty little trout-loving-zombie creating creatures.

I think my favorite characters on television are usually the damaged ones. The Winchester brothers (Supernatural), Fox Mulder (The X-Files), Cooper Hawkes and T.C. McQueen (Space: Above & Beyond), Max (Dark Angel), Logan Echolls (Veronica Mars), just to name a few.

This morning, as I was listening to my iTunes, I heard a song that always reminds me of Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch) from Friday Night Lights (one of 2 great shows nobody seems to be watching….the other is Supernatural).

Todd Snider’s “Keep Off The Grass”, which reminds me of Riggins, goes as follows:

“It keeps on gettin harder to keep on keeping on
With everybody screaming orders in my ear
I wanna be my own man
I‘d love to walk it alone
But every time I leave my home
This is what I hear

Keep your nose clean
Your head above water
Keep your feet on the ground
KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY DAUGHTER
Keep your back to the wind
Keep your thoughts to yourself
An eye on the clock
Keep an eye on your health
I wish they’d let me just keep to myself
I do fine on my own”

I became hooked on Friday Night Lights in the third episode, “Wind Sprints”. Up until then, I was on the fence about this show. I’m not a football fan, and I usually need action, mystery or adventure in my shows to keep my interest. But in “Wind Sprints”, I got hooked on Coach Taylor, Tim Riggins, and Matt Sarazen. But this blog is about Riggins.

Tim Riggins is definitely damaged. I have to admit, it took a few episodes for this character to grow on me. He drinks like a fish (his parents and his brother are apparently alcoholics), he doesn’t go to visit his paralyzed best friend (Jason Street) in the hospital, he’s in love with (and sleeps with) his paralyzed best friend’s girlfriend (Lyla), he’s mean to his own sometimes girlfriend (Tyra), the Rally Girls do all of his homework…in short, he’s a screwup. Heck, he doesn’t even show up at the pancake breakfast fundraiser for Street. Instead, he’s out hitting his empty beer cans with a golf club. On the surface, a real loser.

Until you look below the surface. As the two seasons progressed, we find out more about Tim. He may be damaged, but not beyond repair.

In “Wind Sprints”, we find out that Tim blames himself for Street’s injury. It doesn’t matter that he was half a football field away, he was the one that should have made that tackle.

In “Git ‘Er Done”, the first time Tim visits Street in the hospital, it is with the team. Street is at the tail end of the line, and when he finally makes it through the door, he chokes up as he tells Street he misses him and holds his hand. As Tim exits, you can hear what sounds like a choked sob. I figure that was Tim. Might have been Jason, but I figure it was Tim.

When Street orders him to come to the hospital in “El Accidente”, Tim comes. He busts Street out of the hospital for a day out, picks him up to put him in the truck, and carries him down to the dock to put him in the boat for a day at the lake. Riggins may bitch about how heavy Street is, but you can tell he loves him.

In “Homecoming”, Tim actually tells Street in front of all the coaches and players that he loves him like a brother. Street obviously isn’t sure about that, since he now suspects Tim is sleeping with Lyla, but we, the viewers, know that Riggins is serious. He does love Street, in his own damaged way. When Jason decks Tim in “Crossing The Line”, even knowing he deserved it, we feel bad for Tim. In “Full Hearts”, when his teammates smash Tim’s truck with baseball bats (while he’s in it) in retaliation for what he did to Street, we’re relieved he isn’t hurt. In neither case does Tim fight back. He, too, figures he deserves it. Later in the episode, after being hit hard and hurt by the rival football team, he drags himself back on the field to give these same teammates the best he has. And his best is actually pretty awesome, even to someone who isn’t a football fan.

In “Nevermind”, we figure out that there is a good possibility that Tim can’t read. The Rally Girls have been doing his homework for him for years. Apparently, he can’t even read their work. He thinks the Scarlet Letter is about a girl named Scarlet (wait a minute, it isn’t?). After the truly awesome Landry (possibly my favorite guy, after Coach Taylor), reads “Of Mice and Men” out loud to him, Tim shows up at Landry’s band concert. Considering there are only three or four people there (none of which are Landry’s best friend Matt), and that Landry’s band is truly awful, that says something about Tim.

In “Upping The Ante” and “I Think We Should Have Sex”, we get to know Tim’s father, Walt Riggins (Brett Cullen, one of my favorites since The Young Riders). At this point, we begin to see exactly why Tim is so screwed up. Walt (an alcoholic) gets Tim drinking again, steals a $3000 camera from the team locker room, and overall breaks Tim’s heart. Tim goes out and finds a fight where he lets himself get the snot kicked out of him. Tim’s version of “cutting” I guess. Then Tim takes the camera back to Coach Taylor. When the Coach invites him in, Tim just smiles sadly and tells Eric he’ll see him at practice.

In “Extended Families” and “Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes”, we get to see Tim have a relationship with an older woman and her kid. The kid, Bo, is a majorly enthusiastic Riggins fan. An originally hungover Riggins is dismissive of Bo at first, but by the end of these episodes, he has taught Bo how to throw a football and how to defend himself against bullies. When Bo gives Tim a picture of himself, Tim promises to hang it on his refrigerator. And we bet he did just that. By the time Riggin’s relationship with Bo’s mother ends a few episodes later, you wonder if it is her or Bo he misses more. I think it was Bo.

And that’s just Season One. In Season Two, we get to see Riggins take verbal hits from just about everyone. The kid can’t win for losing. Not that he’s an angel. After all, he is damaged. But he is definitely interesting. And if that ain’t enough, he’s definitely easy on the eyes.



If you aren’t watching this show, get the dvds and start watching. If I can get hooked on a football show, I figure anyone can.

Yeah, I don't know what it means either. But Mannie mentioned the quote on Fi's Neptune blog (on Veronica Mars, one of my favorites), and now that stupid song is stuck in my head. I wash dishes..."Everybody have fun tonight, everybody Wang Chung tonight!". I do the laundry.."Everybody WANG CHUNG TONIGHT!" I don't think I was doing it, whatever "it" is.

Somebody send the Winchesters! If an exorcism doesn't work, they have my permission to beat this evil song out of me.

And probably why mine became a coathanger.

I caught this one late last Thursday night. I was actually surprised at how much I enjoyed it.

A few thoughts:

The music was great. Energetic and fun.

Queen Latifah rocks in just about every movie I see her in. That woman has an awesome voice and impresses the heck out of me every time I see her.

I have to give John Travolta a lot of credit. Any man who can dance THAT energetically in THAT much padding, a dress, AND heels should be commended for his sheer guts. I couldn't do it in flats or barefoot, much less heels. While at first his performance was a little jarring (hey, I can SEE John Travolta in there), at the end, I was actually seeing Edna.

I didn't recognize Zac Efron or James Marsden until the credits. Forgive me, but I've never seen any of the High School Musical stuff, so I've only ever seen Zac on interviews. And I liked X-Men franchise, but I don't think we ever actually saw James Marsden's eyes in that one. I enjoyed both of their performances in this one.

I really enjoyed Nikki Blonsky (Tracy). She did a great job, and managed to hold her own easily with the big stars in this. Tracy was the center of the movie, and I thought Nikki nailed it.

I think my favorite singer was Elijah Kelley (Seaweed). Great voice on that kid!

I don't know why, but I'm always so shocked at what a great job Michelle Pfeiffer always seems to turn in. I remember her from "B.A.D. Cats". You've come a looooong way, baby!

All in all, this was a fun movie. And one I never epected to enjoy as much as I did!

I was a little worried about doing this one. I only watched regularly for the first two seasons. Then I got sidetracked. So, I don't really qualify as a big fan. Plus, I knew I would want to replace the word "Dean" with "Sam".

A friend has loaned me all the seasons, and I am currently working on season 4. At any rate, I decided it qualified for a favorite quotes blog. Hopefully I got everyone’s favorites from season one. I think my favorite was the one with Mrs. Kim, Lane and Dean. Mrs. Kim is a hoot anytime she is on screen. Not that I'd want her for a mother, mind you!

As usual, a special thanks to the writers of this show, and to tv.com for a single place with show quotes (since my memory isn’t the greatest anymore).

Lorelai: Oh, I forgot. We're having dinner at the grandparents' house this Friday, so don't make any plans.
Rory: Wait. It's September. What holidays are in September?

Emily: You know, there's nothing better in life than a good education.
Lorelai: And pie. (her parents stare at her) Sorry. Joke.

Rory: How many meals is it gonna take ‘til we’re off the hook?
Lorelai: I think the deli spread at my funeral will be the last one.

Rory: God! You’re like Ruth Gordon just standing there with the tannis root. Make a noise.
Dean: Rosemary’s Baby.
Rory: Yeah.
Dean: Well, that’s a great movie. You’ve got good taste. Are you moving?
Rory: No, just my books are.

Lane: So I told my mom you’re changing schools.
Rory: Was she thrilled?
Lane: The party’s on Friday.

Rory: And we get to wear uniforms. No more having people check you out to see what jeans you’re wearing ‘cause everyone’s dressed alike in boring clothes and just there to learn.
Lane: Okay, there’s academic-minded and then there’s Amish.

Lorelai: (on the phone) But she's supposed to start Monday. It just doesn't give me a lot of time to pull a bank job. (pause) Well, never mind. I was just kidding. (pause) No, a bank job is robbing a bank.

Rory: (when she sees the Chilton skirt) I'm gonna be in a Britney Spears video?
Sookie: You're going to Chilton! (Lorelai smacks her arm) Sorry.
Lorelai: You did it babe. You got in.
Rory: How did this happen? You didn't sleep with the principal did you?
Lorelai: No honey, that was a joke.

Lane: So, I guess you’re not going, huh?
Rory: No. I’m still fuzzy on what’s fun about sitting in the cold for 2 hours with a bundle of sticks up your butt.
Lane: Don’t expect me to clear it up for you.

Lorelai: Has the plumber attended to Room 4 yet?
Michel: He was here. He did nothing. It’s $100.

Oh yeah, been there, done that!

(after leaving Emily and Richard's house)
Lorelai: Do I look shorter? 'Cause I feel shorter.
Rory: Hey, how about I buy you a cup of coffee.
Lorelai: Oh yeah. You drive though. Ok? 'Cause I don’t think my feet will reach the pedals.

Oh boy, do I know THAT feeling!!!

Mrs. Kim: So, how was school? None of the girls get pregnant, drop out?
Lane: Not that we know of.
Rory: Though come to think of it, Joanna Posner was glowing a little.
Mrs. Kim: What?
Lane: Nothing, Mama. She’s just kidding.
Mrs. Kim: Boys don’t like funny girls.
Rory: Noted.

Rory: (to Dean) It's my mother's name, too. She named me after herself. She was lying in the hospital thinking about how men name boys after themselves all the time, you know, so why couldn't women? She says her feminism just kind of took over. Though personally I think a lot of Demerol also went into that decision. I never talk this much.

(after the man in the diner hits on Lorelai, she turns around to find him hitting on Rory)
Joey: (to Rory) Yeah, I've never been through here before.
Lorelai: Oh, you have too.
Joey: Oh, hi.
Lorelai: Oh, hi. You really like my table, don't you?
Joey: I was just, uh...
Lorelai: Getting to know my daughter?
Joey: Your...
Rory: Are you my new daddy?

Rory: You're happy.
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: Did you do something slutty?
Lorelai: I'm not that happy.

Luke: (getting her coffee) Do you want to know what this stuff does to your central nervous system?
Lorelai: Ooh, do you have a chart? ‘Cause I love charts.
Luke: Forget it, kill yourself.

(just arriving at Chilton)
Rory: I remember it being smaller.
Lorelai: Yeah. And less…
Rory: “Off with their heads.”
Lorelai: Yeah.
Rory: What are you looking at?
Lorelai: Uh, I’m just trying to see if there’s a hunchback up in that bell tower.

Lorelai: Hey, what do you think of Luke?
Rory: What do you mean?
Lorelai: I mean, do you think he's cute?
Rory: Oh, no. No way.
Lorelai: No way what?
Rory: You cannot date Luke.
Lorelai: I said nothing about dating Luke.
Rory: If you date him, you'll break up, and we'll never be able to eat there again.
Lorelai: I repeat, I said nothing about dating Luke.
Rory: Date Al from Pancake World, his food stinks.
Lorelai: I cannot believe what I'm hearing. Al's food does not stink, Al stinks.

Lorelai: (to Emily) Well, we like our internet slow, ok. We can turn it on, walk around, do a little dance, make a sandwich. With DSL there’s no dancing, no walking and we’d starve. It’d be all work and no play. Have you not seen The Shining, Mom?

(children are walking with books balanced on their heads)
Miss Patty: Now walk smooth, that's a new Harry Potter on your heads. If they should drop Harry will die and there won't be anymore books.

Rory: (at Lorelai's outfit) I didn't know the rodeo was in town.
Lorelai: Ok, that's it. I'm bringing the baby pictures.
Rory: No! I'm sorry. I love the rodeo, the rodeo rules!

Lorelai: You're a sadist, you're a fiend! (Luke brings her coffee) You're pretty.

Rory: She caught him in the pool house with the tennis pro, not the riding instructor.
Richard: I had no idea.
Rory: That committee of yours is not looking at people as much as you think.
Richard: Oh, why would they? From what you’ve told me, they’re all involved in one nefarious activity after another.
Rory: It’s a conspiracy.
Richard: It’s Peyton Place. Is there more?
Rory: Can you handle it?
Richard: Oh, I’ll steel myself.
Rory: Okay, Mr. Neville likes all things frilly.
Richard: Good God, he’s my broker.
Rory: I don’t think one will affect the other.

Swan Man: Hey, where do you want the swans?
Lorelai: Um, well, do you know where the pond is?
Swan Man: Nope.
Lorelai: Okay, you know that little road you came up?
Swan Man: Nope.
Lorelai: Okay, do you know how to say “big help” in Chinese?
Swan Man: Nope.
Lorelai: (to Michel) Michel! (to the Swan Man) This is twenty swans?
Swan Man: Sure. Why not?

Lorelai: You don’t care at all, do you?
Michel: To me you are the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon.
Lorelai: Okay, forget it.

Lorelai: Rory, I love you. I would take a bullet for you. But I'd rather stick something sharp in my ear than go to the club with you.
Rory: Fine.
Lorelai: I'd rather slide down a banister of razor blades and land in a pool of alcohol than go to the club with you.
Rory: I got it.
Lorelai: Don't stop me, I'm on a roll. I'd rather eat my own hand than go to the club with you. Ooh, I'd rather get my face surgically altered to look like that lunatic rich lady with the lion head than go to the club with you.
Rory: Would you like me to drive so you can continue your diatribe?
Lorelai: Would ya? Thanks. I'd rather cut off my head and use it as a punch bowl than go to the club with you.

Michel: The battle for soup versus salad is raging in the other room. Come quick and settle it, please, as I'm running out of French curse words that they won't understand.

Lorelai: Sweetie you're never gonna find the deer.
Rory: Well I'm gonna try.
Lorelai: Well I'm in heels!
Rory: Well stay in the car.
Lorelai: It's dangerous in the car with all the kamikaze deer running around...
(getting out of the car)Rory: I have to find it.
Lorelai: Alright, wait up! So what does the deer look like? Huh? Does it have any distinguishing marks - besides the word 'Jeep' imprinted on its forehead?

Lorelai: (when she tastes the “bad coffee”) Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the camel!

Lorelai: Sweetie, Mommy can’t get up right now. Mommy’s been sleeping at a right angle all night

Lorelai: News is on.
Rory: One sec.
Lorelai: (to herself) For our top story tonight, a grisly horrible thing that happened in a small town where no grisly horrible things ever happen. Everyone’s shocked. House slides down hill. Liposuction kills, stay fat.

Rory: Thanks though.
Lorelai: For what?
Rory: For yelling at the Headmaster the way you did.
Lorelai: Oh, I didn’t yell at him.
Rory: You called him ‘il duce’!
Lorelai: Which means ‘kind sir’ in Cantonese.

Lorelai's Answering Machine: It's us, we're not here, we have a life, get over it.

(after Rory got a "D" and didn't tell Lorelai about it)
Lorelai: You should have told me...
Rory: I couldn't
Lorelai: You couldn't tell me? You tell me everything!
Rory: It was too humiliating.
Lorelai: Aw, honey. You once told me you loved Saved By The Bell.... What could be more humiliating than that?

(Rory walks into the room carrying her bookbag filled with books)
Lorelai: Behold, in theaters now, The Thing That Reads a Lot.

Luke: You look like you need pie.
Rory: I do?
Luke: Violent pencil tossing usually signals the need for pie.
Rory: What if I'd thrown a pen?
Luke: I would've brought you a trout.
Rory: What?
Luke: I don't make the rules, I just carry them out.

Emily: A funeral? Whose?
Lorelai: It was for the neighbors’, uh, cat. (silence) Mom?
Emily: Hold on. I’m looking up “aneurysm” in our medical dictionary to see if I just had one.

(Emily on the phone with Lorelai after finding out that Lorelai attended a cat's wake instead of her unknown cousin's funeral)
Lorelai: It's late, I have a big day tomorrow.
Emily: You're going to a raccoon's wedding?

(French group arriving at the Inn, one of them talking to Michel in French)
Michel: Sir, I'm just a simple country boy from Texas. I do not understand this francais business you're babbling about.

Lorelai: And, it's so hard to believe that at exactly this time many moons ago I was lying in exactly this same position...
Rory: Oh, boy. Here we go...
Lorelai: ...only I had a huge fat stomach and big fat ankles and I was swearing like a sailor...
Rory: ...on leave...
Lorelai: ...on leave! Right! And, there I was...
Rory: ...in labor...
Lorelai: ...and, while some have called it, the most meaningful experience of your life, to me it was something more akin to doing the splits on a crate of dynamite.
Rory: I wonder if the Waltons ever did this.
Lorelai: And, I was screaming and swearing, and being surrounded as I was by a hundred prominent doctors, I just assumed there was an actual use for the cup of ice chips they gave me.
Rory: There wasn't.
Lorelai: But, the pelting the nurses sure was fun.

Rory: Mom's famous for her blowouts.
Lorelai: The best one was her eighth birthday.
Rory: Oh yeah, that was good.
Lorelai: The cops shut us down.
Luke: The cops shut down an eight year old's birthday party?
Rory: And arrested the clown.

Lorelai: I'm going to be so cool in there, you will mistake me for Shaft.

Lorelai: One of us has got to do laundry tonight.
Rory: Why?
Lorelai: Because I haven't had any clean underwear for three days.
Rory: So right now under your skirt you're wearing..?
Lorelai: Not underwear.
Rory: MOM!
Lorelai: Kind of nice actually, breezy.
Rory: My role model ladies and gentlemen.

(after meeting Dean in the supermarket)
Lorelai: See, that wasn’t so bad.
Rory: You’re right
Lorelai: I said nothing embarrassing, nothing stupid.
Rory: I appreciate that.
Lorelai: So chill out supermarket slut.
Rory: See, even a little information in your hands is dangerous.

Rory: That's my mom!
Dean: She's got energy.
Rory: Yeah, well, she's 90 percent water, 10 percent caffeine.

Luke: You're not going to kill the bag boy.
Lorelai: Why not?
Luke: It's double coupon day. You'll bring down the town.

Lorelai: Stop saying mother like that.
Rory: Like what?
Lorelai: Like there's supposed to be another word after it.

Rory: (to Dean about the movie Boogie Nights) You'll never get it past Lorelai. She had a bad reaction to Magnolia. She sat there for three hours screaming "I want my life back!". Then, we got kicked out of the theater. Actually, it was a pretty entertaining day.

I’ve seen a few movies that have caused me to have that reaction, too.

Michel: You do know that not everyone finds the idea of being pelted with frozen water appealing.
Lorelai: I know, and how sad for them.
Michel: The thrilling sensation of getting lost in a blizzard, of freezing to death in the woods and having to eat your friend's buttocks to stay alive: that is lost on many people.

Lorelai: (to Michel) I am telling you five minutes in a snowball fight we could knock that stick right out of your butt.

Taylor: Well, excuse me, Andrew, but some of us have businesses to run that don't involve peddling drug paraphernalia to kids.
Andrew: It was a lava lamp, Taylor.
Taylor: There is no use for a lava lamp unless you're on drugs.

Hey!!! I have TWO lava lamps. And nobody told me I needed drugs to go with them? Wonder what kind? Would Benadryl do, do ya think?

Dean: You said 'boyfriend'.
Rory: No! I just meant boyfriend in the sense that the whole defending me thing was very boyfriendy, but only in the broadest sense of the word, which doesn't even apply at all here.

Dean: So are you asking me to go to a dance with you?
Rory: No... Yes... I mean... if you wanted to go, I would go too.
Dean: That would probably be good since it's your school.

Emily: If she doesn't want to go [to the Chilton dance], then it must be because of something you said.
Lorelai: Mom, I promise, all I ever said to her about dances is that you go, you dance, you have punch, you eat, you take a picture, and then you get auctioned off to a biker gang from Sausalito.

Lorelai: (after spraying Rory's hair) Ok, that will be good for 6 slow dances, 4 medium ones, 1 lambada. But if you plan on doing any moshing, I suggest another coat.

Emily: (about the mashed banana on toast) I used to make this all the time for you when you were a little girl.
Lorelai: You did?
Emily: Yes! Whenever you got sick, I made this.
Lorelai: Are you sure it wasn't the other way around?

Tristan: Uh-hunh. Okay well look, I'll confess something to you. I don't have a date.
Rory: Well I hear Squeaky Frome's up for parole soon. You should keep a good thought.

Lane: Remember two years ago, I got my mom that perfume? Okay, to me that said, "Hey Mom, you work hard, you deserve something fancy." Now, to my mother it said, "Hey Mom, here's some smelly sex juice -- the kind I use to lure boys with." And resulted in me being sent to Bible camp all summer.

Lorelai: I don't hate you.
Dean: No?
Lorelai: No. Though I did imagine 20 different ways to remove your head from your body.
Dean: Yeah? Which one looked the best?
Lorelai: Hedge clippers. Dull ones.

Hedge clippers would only do if you’ve removed the eyes with melonballers first, though. (Only Supernatural fans will understand that one!)

Lorelai: Rory, there are only two things that I trust in this entire world. The fact that I will never be able to understand what Charo is saying no matter how long she lives in this country, and you.
Rory: Hopefully not in that order.

Mrs. Kim: (angrily, to a man in her store) You break, you buy!
Man: But it was sticking out in the aisle.
Mrs. Kim: You break, you buy!
Man: But I didn’t put it in the aisle.
Mrs. Kim: You have eyes, yes?
Man: Yes, I have eyes.
Mrs. Kim: These eyes work?
Man: Yes, these eyes work.
Mrs. Kim: They can make out shapes, sizes and colors?
Man: Yes they can do all that, but ...
Mrs. Kim: Eyes work, they see lamp in aisle, send message to brain: 'Lamp in aisle - move!' You move. You don’t break lamp.
Man: I ...
Mrs. Kim: You have no eyes, not my problem, that is between you and them. You break, you buy!
(The man gives in and gives her some money)Mrs. Kim: (suddenly sweet) We appreciate your business.

Rory: What's in there?
Dean: A salad.
Rory: Salad?
Dean: Yeah, it's a quaint dish sometimes used to precede large quantities of pizza.
(Lorelai and Rory give him strange looks)
Dean: It's for me.
Rory: Clearly.

Sookie: Well, you call someone and say "Can you come over and help me look for my loose chick"...it's a little...
Lorelai: A little what?
Sookie: Sounds a little like code for "I'm not wearing any underwear".

Lorelai: (answering the phone) Independence Inn.
Emily: I need the hat rack.
Lorelai: (mysteriously) The fish flies at night.
Emily: What?
Lorelai: I don't know. Who is this?

Emily: Do you know that every night at dinner the Kennedy clan would sit around the table having lively debates about everything under the sun. They would quiz each other about current events, historical events and intellectual trivia. Now the Gilmore clan is just as smart and wordly as the Kennedy's so come on someone say something.
Lorelai: Did you know that butt models make $10,000 a day?
Emily: Camelot is truly dead.

Rory: Listen there's something I have to tell you.
Lorelai: What?
Rory: I loaned Paris your black mini and there's a good chance you may never see it again.
Lorelai: Oh well there's something I have to tell you.
Rory: What?
Lorelai: You lost out on a quarter of a million dollars today.

Paris: Read my manifesto, I want your thoughts.
Rory: First thought - lose the word 'manifesto.'
Paris: Too cabin-in-the-woods?
Rory: Don't open your mail.
Paris: Right.

Dean: (Dean enters Kim's Antiques) Hello? Lane are you here?
Mrs. Kim: (Mrs. Kim pops out from behind a piece of furniture) Who are you? Why you call Lane? How you know her? You date her?
Dean: No.
Mrs. Kim: You try to?
Dean: No!
Mrs. Kim: Then why you here? Empty your pockets!
Dean: OK. I'm gonna go now.
Lane: Dean! Wait! Wait!
Mrs. Kim: Who's Dean?
Dean: I'm Dean.
Mrs. Kim: How you know Dean?
Lane: We go to school together.
Mrs. Kim: You do?
Dean: Yeah, we're science partners.
Mrs. Kim: (to Dean) You! Don't talk! (to Lane) Science partners?
Lane: Yes Mamma. I've invited him over to work.
Mrs. Kim: Work?
Lane: On our science project.
Mrs. Kims: (suspiciously)Reproduction?
Lane: Spores, molds and fungus.
Mrs. Kim: Science project?
Lane: Yes.
Mrs. Kim: For school? You're not dating?
Lane: No Mamma.
Mrs. Kim: Ok. Follow me.
(she leads them to the kitchen)
Mrs. Kim: (to Dean) You! Sit here! (to Lane) You! Sit here! I'm going there. When I come back these chairs will be in the same place. No moving! You understand? (she walks away but turns back to Lane and Dean) I see all!

Did I mention I love Mrs Kim?

Rory: So, Grandpa, what's new in the world today?
Richard: Well, as usual, it's going to hell in a handbasket.
Rory: It's nice to always have something you can count on.

(At the town meeting)
Taylor: Lorelai, I hope that's not food in those bags. Food is not allowed at town meetings.
Lorelai: No Taylor, it is… it's um, diapers for the little ones.
Taylor: The what??
Lorelai: Dorselfins and cucamonga.
Taylor: What did she say?
Lorelai: (whispering in Max's ear) I confuse him until he looses his train of thought and then he moves on.

Some of my favorite scenes were the town meetings.

(later, when Lorelai has fries in her hand and Taylor looks at her suspiciously)
Lorelai: These are not fries, they are farfonugen sugendugen!

Lorelai: What's the opposite of ennui?
Sookie: Off-ui. Hey, I'm cured!

Hope you enjoyed them!

Two blogs in one....saves space donchaknow.

First, the Lost question. In the finale, I noticed something that really puzzled me, but nobody at work seemed to see it.

In the scene on the freighter, with the islanders freaking about the bomb, Desmond waving the helicopter off screaming about a bomb, I remember noticing the freighter crew just going about their business as usual. When I mentioned it to the folks I "watercooler" with, none of them noticed it. I remember thinking at the time that something was really wrong with those "Stepford" crewmembers who were mopping decks etc like nothing was wrong. Did I just dream this or what?

And Kristin at E-Online reported an interesting item in her spoiler chat regarding the CW:

"Silas in Tacoma, Wash.: Have you heard this rumor about CW president Dawn Ostroff leaving her job? What does this mean for my fave shows like Gossip Girl?"

"According to my inside source at the network, there is some truth to the rumor. There have apparently been some talks with potential replacements, and the scuttlebutt is that Ostroff is looking for a new gig. Apparently, one way or another, regime change at the CW is likely to happen sooner rather than later. As for Gossip Girl, fear not. There isn't a chance in Hades any new prez would kill that show."

Although I don't wish anyone to lose a job, the CW needs some new blood in that position (I think I've said that before). As long as that "new blood "doesn't screw with Supernatural, that is! If the CW doesn't do something soon, they're in big trouble. Besides, new blood may mean the CW owners let it ride another year. Hopefully, that would give Kripke his year 5? That would be really nice. Guess we can just watch and hope.
